Does the barn need a fan?

Barns are usually large enclosed spaces that are prone to problems such as high temperature, high humidity and poor air circulation, which will affect the quality of rice. Installing fans can accelerate air circulation, eliminate stuffiness and moisture, and improve the grain storage environment.

So the barn needs to be installed with fans, but what kind of fans do you need?

Barns are well-known large spaces, and the best fit is a low-speed high-volume ceiling fan, or HVLS FAN. HVLS fans have very large blades and rotate very slowly, and can move large amounts of air at low power consumption, and are designed for ventilation of large spaces.

This type of fan has a large blade diameter (usually 5.1-7.3 meters), can push a large amount of air at a low speed, has a wide coverage area, low noise during operation, and simple maintenance. Used in large warehouses, factories, livestock and poultry houses. Wide coverage, high ventilation efficiency and low energy consumption.

Are HVLS fans suitable for use in grain storage silos?

Yes, HVLS fans are very suitable for grain storage warehouses. In corn, wheat and other grain warehouses, HVLS fans can provide uniform air circulation, accelerate grain drying, and prevent local moisture condensation and mildew.

Their low-speed and high-volume design can maintain the fluidity of the air in the warehouse, making the temperature and humidity more uniform. Compared with ordinary exhaust or point air equipment, HVLS fans can improve the overall air quality of the warehouse without complex ducting.

Can HVLS fans be used in livestock and poultry farms?

HVLS fans are widely used in livestock and poultry breeding environments. They can reduce the heat and humidity in the breeding house, produce a wind cooling effect, and improve the comfort of animals. Especially in hot weather, this fan can help cattle, pigs, and chickens quickly dissipate heat and reduce high temperature stress; at the same time, it promotes air convection, reduces ammonia and bacterial growth, and reduces the risk of disease.

Are HVLS fans easy to install? How noisy are they? Are they expensive to maintain?

HVLS fans generally need to be fixed on the roof structure (such as steel beams), and are usually installed by a professional team. Although the initial installation is relatively complicated, it is very stable and reliable after installation. Some brands of fans are maintenance-free, and even if they are maintained, the maintenance cycle is very long, usually several years. It runs very quietly (43-55db when running at high speed, imagine the noise of an ordinary conversation)
